Typical osteonecrosis was observed in groups B and C. Apoptosis gradually increased with increasing time in both groups B and C. More severe osteonecrosis and apoptosis were observed in group C compared with group B. The expression levels of caspase-3 and Bax were higher while that of Bcl-2 was lower in group C compared with group B. The expression levels of activated β-catenin and c-Myc gradually decreased with increasing time in both groups B and C, and they were lower in group C compared with group B. The gene discussed is BCL2; the disease is osteonecrosis.
